Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Still round the corner we may meet...
New verse:
Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, Well wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed! |

I love Rav4s. I wanted one the first time I saw one, cause they're just so darling! And a nice size.
And, of course, I loved my Corolla...so I liked the idea of having a little Toyota SUV type thingie.
But I admit having the people space of my van is coming in very handy lately. Probably won't be that way forever, but it's been great for me...just wish sometimes that it was cute and sporty. ;-)

It is a great size! Just like a Corolla but with height and an indoor trunk! LOL!!
And I like the older model's appearance more so than the newer, egg-ier shaped ones.

Cue William Tell Overture Happy Anniversary! Happy AnniversaryROFL! I was trying to find a download of that song but I couldn't find one :) What's funny about that is one time my brother wanted to sing that song to his then-girlfriend/now-wife for their "anniversary" (i.e. of when they started dating), and he picked up the phone and started singing it thinking it was her on the other end--only after he was finished with the song, it turned out it was his college's admissions office :)
To: RMDupree
Oh, I was gonna ask you which shape it was - so it's one of the older types? I like that one better, too...the new ones are bigger and kinda look...I dunno...more like an insect? ;-) I still like them, but not quite as much. They aren't as distinctive as the older ones.
Only 39k! That's a baby indeed.

Actually we ended up just talking, about Briggs-Meyers personality tests and comic book heros - how Batman and Kenshin are similar, for one - and religion.
If I'm supposed to do any kind of witnessing at all, it's to people like this - geek types whose only exposure to Christianity has been really negative. I'm not out to convert anyone but I do know how to explain what I believe in a way that's not offensive and is fairly logical, which appeals to a lot of geek types.

http://www.middle-earth-music.com/main.htmlLooks like a neat music hall! Is that the same one they used at the end of RotK where you were serving drinks to Sam and Co.? :)
Guess you're going to bed now, so have a good night!
To: JenB
How'd you decide Batman and Kenshin were similar?
I'm interested in the subject of how one goes about witnessing to geeks. I have a few friends I've been working on for years and it's a challenge.

Ooohhh... but Rutheee... a RAV4 is so *YOU*. That really works.
I felt really bad about leaving my Toyota 4x4 pickup behind in a car lot too. That truck and I had been in some really weird places together, got into some places that dirt bikes feared to tread, and she always got me home. That truck could do things that were simply amazing to watch (later, much later, on video). Loved that machine, and yeah, we'd been together for about eight years.
Of course that twinge only lasted until I dropped the top on the Mustang and took it home on the freeway, dropped into second at sixty and hearing the most wonderful gawdawful smallblock V-8 throaty scream coming from out under the hood. [pant pant] oooooohhhhhh.... then for some reason I felt much better about it. :-)
